Totally agree. Why would Google punish sites for linking out? Their algorithm is based on how sites are linking to each other. For that reason I strongly believe that the google algo will reward sites for linking out to relevant and good resources.

Thanks for demystifying the "I lose PR and ranking if I link out with followed links" - BS.

Screaming Frog is pretty limited in the free version, especially for big sites. If you want to run some basic link checks you can also use this free tool "XENU Sleuth"http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html. The site looks pretty weird but the tool works really well, is fast and 100% free. Been using it for years. Scans through 100,000+ URLs without any issues.

Well, you tell Google order.php is temporarily replaced by order_form.php. a 301 redirect would transfer the PR to order_form.php but the 302 will prevent Google from doing so. I am not sure if order.php would keep the PR. I came across that question because one of the real estate SEO heavyweights Trulia is doing it big time on their property result list. E.g: http://www.trulia.com/NY/New_York/ Click on any property detail page and you will see the link you clicked on being 302 redirected to the property detail page with a different URL. I wonder why they do that?
